  • How do you Answer Why?

    It seems that ever since my decision to truly walk this path, I keep running up against people who are really lost. It’s like they are drawn to me like a moth to the flame. I discovered last week that an old acquaintance of mine, in America has Leukemia. Last night I discovered it was…

  • How the Interview Went

    I really am bad at keepign these things in order. Thursday I was invited to go and speak to the Vicar about my joining the church. It seemed to go well, and, as he put it, “The hand of God was upon me”. Quite odd I thought, but I’m not going to argue with the…

  • Short

    you were warned.

  • What a Week (and it’s only Tuesday)

    Well, what a week. DS has managed to get himself an interview at the Uni for an operator job, and I managed to finally make that call to the vicar. We meet on Thursday, at 4:30. Also, at some point on Monday, I got press-ganged into joining the Computer Section football team. Yes Folks, I…

  • Near Miss

    Talk about close. Ever get the supsicion that despite the evidence, your worst enemy is yourself? It’s rather unfamiliar terratory to stand on, I can tell you. Having had (As some of you know) a bit of a roller-coaster year, I was hoping that things would settle down. It appears, however, that I had other…

  • The Web Archive

    Bouncing aroudn on the web archive, I managed to find a load of old websites (and I mean OLD, circa 1997), some with pictures of me with HAIR!. I decided to see if I could find my old pal David Leverton’s page about me, just to see if ti was what I remembered. It appears,…

  • Rman handy Commands

    http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~baumbach/ORACLE10g/rman.html Being as my day job is still system administration, we’ve recently moved onto Oracle. For this, I need to know a bit about RMAN, the Restore Manage for Oracle. I don’t yet know enough to publish a sensible article about it, but I’m working on that. Currently these are just bits and pieces while…

  • And the World turns

    You know, it’s very odd how life’s highway decides it wants to take you places you never thought you’d ever want to go. Those of you that know me will have no doubt heard about the random desire I have to join the Church. Yes, I know. Me, in the Church. It appears that no…

  • Another Reason to Hate Microsoft.

    And I thought today was going to be a good day. There I was, minding my own business, turning up for work (late, again. I really need to do something about that), and all of a sudden, I find out that there’s a “ffwdan”, or for you english out there, a “hassle” (Tech Support Call).…

  • Why Can’t I Own A Canadian?

    I found this using Stumble. I found it entertaining. Especially as I’ve not stoned anyone to death in a long, long time. SK

  • The Natioanls 2007, Systemless GM’s Writeup (pt 1.)

    The “Student” National Roleplaying Championship was held this year in Edinburgh, and I have to say, it was a fantastic event. Then again, it always is. A lot of hard work was put in by Lucy and her crew to organise the event, as well as by those that GM’d. Some of us travelled 10…
